On Thursday, October 2, 2025, the Arnold Bernhard Center (ABC Building) unveiled a new opportunity for student creativity \u2014 relaunching The Schelfhaudt Gallery for its first exhibition since 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UB leadership, trustees, and gallery namesake Peter Schelfhaudt took part in the official ribbon cutting at 5:00 p.m. \u201c911爆料网 is undergoing a renaissance,\u201d said President Danielle Wilken, Ed.D. \u201cThis opening fits in with everything that we’re doing to create community spaces and vibrant opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where art meets AI<\/h2>\n

The inaugural exhibition, AI: Co-Create, was curated and presented by Schelfhaudt himself. \u201cArtificial intelligence is overhyped in many ways, and the art world has been especially critical of AI,\u201d he described. \u201cAI Co-Create seeks to explore the space where the artist and AI work with \u2014 or even push \u2014 each other to collectively create better art than either could do alone. AI Co-Create showcases how artists use AI to ideate, explore, create, and refine imagined realities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilken noted the topical relevance of merging art with AI \u2014 particularly at UB. \u201cIt\u2019s especially important that the first exhibit is related to artificial intelligence given we have the first Artificial Intelligence master\u2019s program in Connecticut<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paintings, sculptures, poems, and videos by artists like Yuliya Lanina, Horst Weber, Alison Pasquini, and Claudia Conroy. The pieces inside the gallery were complemented by the illumination of the famous dome on the exterior of the building, featuring the artwork of Bridgeport resident Phillip Baldwin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Bite\u201d\u2014 Carlos Biernnay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Many artists incorporated AI in unexpected ways. For example, Alison Pasquini\u2019s floral paintings are inspired by Dutch still lifes and contemporize the historical genre using new technology. After many years of painting in oil and acrylic, Paquini began digitally painting, altering pieces with AI, printing them, and then completing them by hand. \u201cIt\u2019s a mixture of hand and technology where you have to look closely to see what parts are hand-detailed, and what parts were made on the computer,\u201d said Pasquini. \u201cI really like the idea of hybridity, which is reflected in the paintings. You\u2019re not really sure if the plants are growing, or if they\u2019re decaying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other featured artists explore the murky boundaries between the physical and digital worlds. \u201cMy art brings awareness of how a culture interprets mental illness, and how it’s funneled through AI,\u201d said Conroy, whose ten pieces in the show blur the line between artifice and reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

An inspired audience<\/h2>\n

As hundreds of patrons gathered on opening day, student volunteers and attendees shared their enthusiasm. \u201cI\u2019ve never seen AI art before. It\u2019s different than the traditional art I\u2019ve seen in galleries,\u201d said Lynzie Lawton, Human Services<\/a> major and student-athlete<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am kind of curious about how long the art took to make, especially considering AI’s involved in it,\u201d added Nick McLaren, a Business student. \u201cI also think it\u2019s really cool that you can make a running theme with certain pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n

UB faculty and staff were also energized by the flagship exhibit. \u201cWe have many provocative pieces that make us ask much-needed questions,\u201d said University Provost Kierstyn Hunter. \u201cI also value being able to see members of our UB community display their interest in AI and skills and artistic talents.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Oressa\"<\/p>\n

One of those community members is Amy Nawrocki, dean of the College of Science and Society. A prolific author and poet, her AI-assisted art and original poetry feature in the exhibit.<\/p>\n

Nawrocki highlighted that the reopening of Schelfhaudt Gallery marks an exciting moment at UB. \u201cThe ribbon-cutting and opening reception for AI: Co-Create signals not only the relaunch of the gallery and Arnold Bernhard Center, but also the coming together of art, innovation, and community,\u201d she said. \u201cSeeing students, staff, faculty, and community artists engage in conversation, interact with exhibits, mingle, and celebrate was inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UB renaissance<\/h2>\n

The revitalization of the Schelfhaudt Gallery at UB has brought back an incredible resource for artists, community members, and students. \u201cI\u2019ve loved art all my life,\u201d said Health Science major Genevieve Fayo. \u201cHaving a gallery that we can just visit on campus is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The gallery is just one of the many innovations in technology, business, and the arts helping to define a new renaissance at UB. \u201cBridgeport is a city with a vibrant art community, and we are glad to provide opportunities to showcase local artists as well as rising national and international creators,\u201d said Peter Schelfhaudt. \u201c911爆料网 is reinforcing its decades-long support of the arts in this unique cultural center with gallery, theatres, and event halls under one roof on the shores of Long Island Sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
